<DIV>hi rayzor,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>yours is a 32-bit Athlon. the x86_64 distros are for the Athlon64 and the Opteron. An opteron's cpuinfo would be something like:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>processor : 0<BR>vendor_id : AuthenticAMD<BR>cpu family : 15<BR>model : 5<BR>model name : AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 144<BR>stepping : 8<BR>cpu MHz : 1804.149<BR>cache size : 1024 KB<BR>fpu : yes<BR>fpu_exception : yes<BR>cpuid level : 1<BR>wp : yes<BR>flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall nx mmxext lm 3dnowext

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>and an athlon 64 gives something like:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>processor : 0<BR>vendor_id : AuthenticAMD<BR>cpu family : 15<BR>model : 4<BR>model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+<BR>stepping : 10<BR>cpu MHz : 2002.662<BR>cache size : 1024 KB<BR>fdiv_bug : no<BR>hlt_bug : no<BR>f00f_bug : no<BR>coma_bug : no<BR>fpu : yes<BR>fpu_exception : yes<BR>cpuid level : 1<BR>wp : yes<BR>flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall mmxext lm 3dnowext 3dnow<BR>bogomips : 3932.16<BR></DIV>
